Mordred - Progress lyrics

rate me

Into the grey sky

Blackness is blown

From this great machine breathing smoke

Hammering pistons

Churning of gears

Furnace of coals remain stoked

Roar of a turbine

Scream of a jet

Man's dream to learn how to fly

Mimicking nature

Study the wind

Travel on air through the sky

Progress comes from the will to learn

Conquest stems from the greed of man

Can't fuse science with hatred

Can't fuse

Advance not with destruction

Proceed defying corruption

Gain ground keep moving forward

Gain ground

Towering structures

Steel and stone

Built on the land that we kill

Burning our forest

Draining our lakes

Forward progression our will

Splitting the atom

Power to threat

Evil we hold in our hands

Frighten our neighbours

Pointing our guns

Until they reach our demands

Progress comes from the will to learn

Conquest stems from the greed of man

Can't fuse science with nature

Can't fuse

Advance not with destruction

Proceed defying corruption

Gain ground keep moving forward

Gain ground
